Question 5

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a new roof in Pocatello or Idaho Falls will depend on several factors. This includes the materials being used for the project, the contractor you choose, the type of roof, residential or commercial project, and even the time of year. It can be tough to find the right balance between the cost of your roof and the quality of work a contractor might do. We suggest doing your research for a big investment like a new roof. You might even want to get multiple proposals so you’ll be more confident in your final decision.

Question 6

What is my annual roofing cost?

Accepted Answer

You can calculate your annual roofing cost by dividing your total cost (the materials and labor) by the life expectancy (in years) of the roof.

Question 7

How long will my roof last?

Accepted Answer

Typically, a new roof is expected to last about 20 years. However, the type of roof may change this number as there are some types that can last even longer. It all depends on a variety of factors including the weather/climate conditions, materials used, and quality of the work done when it is installed. Be sure you find out about the warranty from your contractor. This will give you a good idea of what to expect.

Question 8

How can I recognize a quality roofing proposal?

Accepted Answer

A good roofing proposal should be detailed and include specific line items. Some things that should be included are warranty and what is covered, details of the roof — style, materials, color, etc., cost and payment details, the project starting and ending dates.

Question 9

Why is there a big difference in the price of roofing proposals?

Accepted Answer

If there is a big difference between proposals, there is probably a reason. There are contractors who can give you a low proposal, but then do low-quality jobs that are not insured. If you are in this situation, make sure you get more information before choosing your contractor.

Question 10

Who is responsible for any damage that needs repairs?

Accepted Answer

This is something that should be outlined in any contract that you sign. Make sure that this is agreed on before any work begins.

Question 11

When do shingles need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Eventually, shingles will turn brittle and flaky. Once this happens, they will not be as effective as they once were. You’ll know that your roof is on its last legs and needs to be replaced when there is a significant amount of moisture that is not being redirected away from the siding and foundation of your home.

Question 12

Can you install shingles during the winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shingles may get brittle in the cold of winter in Idaho Falls or Pocatello, but there are steps we can take to avoid them breaking. They should be kept somewhere warm, bringing them out as needed for use. The cold may also affect the way shingles seal during installation. However, there are techniques we can use to ensure that the shingles do not blow off.

Question 13

Why is my roof leaking? It isn’t even old.

Accepted Answer

Even a perfectly installed roof can have a leak. Leaks may be caused by large storms, strong winds, animals like birds or squirrels, or general deterioration. Another issue that can become a problem is moss. Moss can cause the deterioration of shingles if it is not taken care of.

Question 14

How can I tell if there is a problem with my roof?

Accepted Answer

Your best course of action is to conduct an inspection. This will help you find any issues before they become bigger problems. Look for things like cracked or missing shingles, roofing granules collecting in the gutters, and on the inside of the house you should be looking for cracking paint or peeling wallpaper as a sign of a problem.

Question 15

How often should a roof be cleaned and inspected?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a unique approach for each roof because they are all different. However, it is good practice for every roof to be checked for warning signs that have the potential to be a problem. Things to be looking for include growing moss, loose or missing shingles, leaking water, and animal or pest infestations. Feel free to contact us for a free consultation in Pocatello or Idaho Falls.

Question 16

If there is a leak in my roof, does that mean it needs to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Not always. There are some situations where a leak can be repaired without needing to replace the entire roof.

Question 17

How hard will it be to do the work myself?

Accepted Answer

Doing roofing work yourself is not recommended. Professionals have the proper training and equipment to perform these jobs. Attempting to do this yourself can result in damage to your roof and can be dangerous to your health. Do not become one of the many people who have been injured from falling off of their roof.

Question 18

Can I use pellets to melt snow and ice on my roof?

Accepted Answer

These pellets should not do any damage to the shingles on your roof. Although, they may cause some discoloration after everything is washed away.

Question 19

What do I do if there is an ice dam on my roof?

Accepted Answer

Do what you can to remove as much of the snow as you can. But if you have a steep roof or thick ice, call a professional for help.

Question 20

Can you assess my roof from the ground?

Accepted Answer

Our team can give you a general estimate from the ground. But, for a complete assessment of the needs of your roof, we will need to go up there to check it out. Our staff is trained to go up onto the roof in a safe manner without causing any damage to the roof. The more complete our assessment is, the more accurate it will be. This way, there will be no surprise of needed work that was unseen from the ground.

What are leaf guards?
